Famous Gingers #3
Many thanks to everyone who has suggested more famous Gingers for us to ponder.
Cilla Black
“Our Cilla” – bucked tooth singer and national treasure with a lorra lorra fans still. Gave the world a glimpse of her Liverpudlian upbringing in songs such as “A Professional Scouser I La” and who could forget her 1965 smash “A Shrill Warbling Carrot Top From Liverpool I La”.
TV hasn’t been the same without her.
That's what I call a Spray Tan
Some things you didn’t know about Cilla;
- She has the same Genetic make up as the Mersey Ferry
- She was in the Beatles
- She doesn’t like talking about her Liverpudlian upbringing
- Her knees are double jointed
The Sunset
Just one word to describe it. Lovely. Aaaaaah could stare at this image all day. Gingerish delight or what!
Calm thoughts, nice thoughts
Some things you don’t know about the Sunset;
- It never happens in the morning
- Without it we wouldn’t have night time – most of us would be knackered
- Bono claims to have created it
- Charlie Sheen had a fight with it a few weeks ago
Bachman Turner Overdrive
Canadian Ginger Rockers, whose signature tune, “You ain’t seen nothing yet,” is claimed to be a direct attack on Stevie Wonder.
In their day you could hear the words
Some things you don’t know about BTO;
- Turner left in 1976 and they became BO which was unfortunate
- Boy George was their lead singer in a failed comeback tour in 2008
- Bachmann makes a lovely seafood risotto
Thomas O’Malley
Crooning Kitty from Disney animated classic The Aristocats. Rumoured to have dated Princess Margaret in 1972. Turned down a role in Bed Knobs and Broomsticks on the advice of his spiritual advisor, Richard Nixon.
Is he singing a BTO song I wonder?
Some things you didn’t know about O’Malley “The Alley” Cat;
- Loves to trampoline
- Was a close friend of Bob Hope
- Hopes to land the role of Bodie in the movie version of the 70’s crime series The Professionals (although we think he is more suited to the role of Doyle)
- Can speak Latin
what about julia roberts or catherine tate eh eh
Thanks for subscribing! And might I suggest the most beautiful ginger of them all; Jessica from True Blood. Every time I see her I just want to dip my hair in bleach and dive into a bowl of henna….
Thanks for that – I hope you keep visiting the site for regular doses of nonsense – to be honest I have never heard of Jessica or the programme – just about got me head round Bela Lugosi to be honest – but having had a look at True Blood’s site I can see what you mean!
Best wishes
The most famous Ginger is, of course, Ginger from Gilligan’s Island.
What a great post. Besides, I saw BTO (back in the day) 3 times … once with Bob Segar as the warm-up act! Heck, I even have a set of drumsticks from the first concert!
Therefore some of my current fav gingers:
Dancing with the Stars dancing pro Anna Trebunskaya
CNN ladies Carol Costello & Brooke Baldwin … even though I wish Kyra Phillips would return to that look
Thanks for dropping by my site earlier today … and hope you return!
Thanks for the feedback – good to know that BTO live on.
I really enjoyed your blog as well!
Best wishes
Thanks for all these famous Gingers but where are you or is that you at the top of every page? Gingers Rock! I am one, too, not famous but we can’t have everything, lol
